The present vehicle in the solution of the present disclosure may be provided with a screen located at a tail of the present vehicle, a camera located at the tail of the present vehicle, a streamline type lamp strip on a roof of the present vehicle and an annular lamp strip at the tail of the present vehicle. As shown in FIGS. 1-3, FIG. 1 is a schematic view showing a position of the screen and the camera according to the present disclosure, FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a position of a streamline type lamp strip on the roof of the present vehicle according to the present disclosure, and FIG. 3 is a schematic view showing a position of an annular lamp strip at the tail of the present vehicle according to the present disclosure.
Technical solutions of the present disclosure will be described in more detail in conjunction with figures and embodiments to make technical solutions of the present disclosure clear and more apparent.
Obviously, the described embodiments are partial embodiments of the present disclosure, not all embodiments. Based on embodiments in the present disclosure, all other embodiments obtained by those having ordinary skill in the art without making inventive efforts all fall within the protection scope of the present disclosure.
In addition, it should be appreciated that the term “and/or” used in the text is only an association relationship depicting associated objects and indicates that three relations might exist, for example, A and/or B may represent three cases, namely, A exists individually, both A and B coexist, and B exists individually. In addition, the symbol “/” in the text generally indicates associated objects before and after the symbol are in an “or” relationship.
FIG. 4 is a flow chart of a method of communicating with a rear vehicle according to an embodiment of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 4, the embodiment includes the following specific implementation mode.
At 401, a present vehicle determines that it is currently in a congestion scenario and obtains congestion condition information.
At 402, the present vehicle generates congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the congestion condition information.
At 403, the present vehicle displays the congestion prompt information on a screen at a tail of the present vehicle.
When the present vehicle is driving on the road, it may determine whether it is currently in a congestion scenario in real time, and if it is in a congestion scenario, it may trigger a function of communicating with the rear vehicle.
Preferably, when the present vehicle determines that a duration of the following state exceeds a predetermined duration: the current traffic slowly advances at a speed below a predetermined threshold, the present vehicle may determine that it is currently in the congestion scenario.
Specific values of the predetermined duration and the predetermined threshold may depend on actual needs. For example, the predetermined duration may be 10 mins, and the predetermined threshold may be 10 km/h. That is to say, if the current traffic slowly advances at a speed lower than 10 km/h, and this state lasts for more than 10 mins, it may be determined that the present vehicle is currently in the congestion scenario.
After determining that it is currently in the congestion scenario, the present vehicle may obtain the congestion condition information. Specifically, the present vehicle may interact with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system to obtain the congestion condition information.
Thereafter, the present vehicle may generate congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the obtained congestion condition information. The congestion prompt information may at least include: a cause of congestion. The cause of congestion may include, but is not limited to, an accident ahead, heavy traffic ahead, temporary road closures ahead, and congestion caused by weather.
In addition to the cause of congestion, the congestion prompt information may further include some other information, such as a duration before the road becomes clear again. Specific content included is not limited here.
The above content may be illustrated as follows:
1) Traffic Accident Ahead
The present vehicle may know that the congestion is caused by a traffic accident happening ahead, by interacting with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system, and may know a distance of the traffic accident site from the present vehicle and happening time of the traffic accident by interacting with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system, and furthermore may determine an average vehicle-removing time of a corresponding type of accidents by querying a pre-generated historical accident library, and thereby infer how long the road will become clear again.
Then, the congestion prompt information may be generated and displayed on the screen at the tail of the present vehicle. FIG. 5 is a first schematic view of information displayed on a screen at a tail of a present vehicle according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 5, the displayed content may be that a traffic accident happens ahead and the traffic is predicted to become clear again in 20 mins. In practical application, various forms of display such as text, graphics or the like may be employed, and are not limited to those shown in the figures.
2) Heavy Traffic Ahead
The present vehicle may know that the congestion is caused by heavy traffic ahead by interacting with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system, and know a traffic index of the road segment in the same time period in the past and then determine whether the traffic is currently in the normal daily situation by interacting with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system, and if the traffic is abnormal, may further query the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system to find out whether there is special road closure information on the current day.
Then, the congestion prompt information may be generated and displayed on the screen at the tail of the present vehicle. FIG. 6 is a second schematic view of information displayed on a screen at a tail of a present vehicle according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 6, the displayed content may be that the traffic is heavy during rush hour and the road segment is congested in 90% cases. FIG. 7 is a third schematic view of information displayed on a screen at a tail of a present vehicle according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 7, the displayed content may be that heavy traffic is caused ahead because the highway to ** is closed today.
3) Congestion Caused by Weather
The present vehicle may acquire weather information and weather changes which are happening in a range of 10 km around on the current day by interacting with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system, and then perform synchronization of weather information and/or provide early warning of weather ahead through the screen.
FIG. 8 is a fourth schematic view of information displayed on a screen at a tail of a present vehicle according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 8, the displayed content may be heavy rain, congestion 1 km ahead, drive carefully. FIG. 9 is a fifth schematic view of information displayed on a screen at a tail of a present vehicle according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 9, the displayed content may be that it is raining 5 km ahead in the direction to ** and continued congestion might be caused.
In the above processing manner, the rear vehicle can be enabled to learn about the congestion condition ahead in time without querying an APP on the mobile phone, so that the safety of vehicle travel is improved.
In addition, when the vehicle is in a congestion state in a long waiting queue for a long time, the driver is prone to irritability, e.g. get into a road rage mood on the road. This mood exerts a very large impact on the safety of the travel of the vehicle.
Regarding this problem, it is proposed in the present embodiment that the present vehicle may detect the mood of the driver of the rear vehicle, namely, determine whether the driver of the rear vehicle is in a road rage mood. Once determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, the present vehicle may generate mood-soothing information and display the mood-soothing information on the screen.
Specifically, the present vehicle may obtain facial expressions and/or behaviors of the driver of the rear vehicle through the camera at the tail of the present vehicle, and determine whether the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood by analyzing the obtained facial expressions and/or behaviors.
For example, it may be believed that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood if it is found after analysis that the facial expressions of the driver of the rear vehicle show negative moods such as agitation and anger and the driver of the rear vehicle exhibits behaviors such as constantly looking out of the window to see situations ahead, patting the steering wheel, and opening and closing mouth (e.g., swearing).
Upon determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, the present vehicle may generate mood-soothing information and display the mood-soothing information on the screen. Preferably, the mood-soothing information and congestion prompt information may be displayed on the screen alternatingly.
FIG. 10 is a sixth schematic view of information displayed on a screen at a tail of a present vehicle according to the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 10, the displayed content (mood-soothing information) may be: bad weather, please take it easy, sing a song and relax. The content displayed in FIG. 10 and the content displayed in FIG. 8 are displayed on the screen alternatingly.
In addition, upon determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, the present vehicle may further turn on the streamline type lamp strip on the roof of the present vehicle and/or the annular lamp strip at the tail of the present vehicle to sooth the mood of the driver of the rear vehicle in a flowing manner of atmosphere lamps. FIG. 11 is a schematic view showing a flow pattern of a lamp strip of the present vehicle according to the present disclosure.
As appreciated, for ease of description, the aforesaid method embodiments are all described as a combination of a series of actions, but those skilled in the art should appreciated that the present disclosure is not limited to the described order of actions because some steps may be performed in other orders or simultaneously according to the present disclosure. Secondly, those skilled in the art should appreciate the embodiments described in the description all belong to preferred embodiments, and the involved actions and modules are not necessarily requisite for the present disclosure.
In summary, according to the solutions of the method embodiments of the present disclosure, the present vehicle can become information source of the rear vehicle in a congestion scenario, and recognize the road rage mood of the driver of the rear vehicle and sooth him in time, so that the present vehicle really becomes a smart terminal travelling on the road, and the present vehicle becomes a smart transportation carrier which is trusted more and provides better safety.

Specific values of the predetermined duration and the predetermined threshold may depend on actual needs. For example, the predetermined duration may be 10 mins, and the predetermined threshold may be 10 km/h. That is to say, if the current traffic slowly advances at a speed lower than 10 km/h, and this state lasts for more than 10 mins, it may be determined that the present vehicle is currently in the congestion scenario.
After determining that the present vehicle is currently in the congestion scenario, the information interaction unit 121 may obtain the congestion condition information. Specifically, the information interaction unit 121 may interact with the Internet-connected intelligent transportation system to obtain the congestion condition information.
Thereafter, the first communication unit 122 may generate congestion prompt information for the rear vehicle according to the obtained congestion condition information. The congestion prompt information may at least include: a cause of congestion. The cause of congestion may include, but is not limited to, an accident ahead, heavy traffic ahead, temporary road closures ahead, and congestion caused by weather.
In addition to the cause of congestion, the congestion prompt information may further include some other information, such as a duration before the road becomes clear again. Specific content included is not limited here.
In the above processing manner, the rear vehicle can be enabled to learn about the congestion condition ahead without querying an APP on the mobile phone, so that the safety of vehicle travel is improved.
In addition, when the vehicle is in a congestion state in a long waiting queue for a long time, the driver is prone to irritability, e.g. get into a road rage mood on the road. This mood exerts a very large impact on the safety of the travel of the vehicle.
Regarding this problem, the apparatus according to the present embodiment may further comprise: a second communication unit 123 configured to determine whether the driver of the rear vehicle is in a road rage mood when in the congestion scenario, and if yes, generate mood-soothing information and display the mood-soothing information on the screen. That is to say, the second communication unit 123 may detect the mood of the driver of the rear vehicle, namely, determine whether the driver of the rear vehicle is in a road rage mood. Once determining that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood, the second communication unit 123 may generate mood-soothing information and display the mood-soothing information on the screen.
The second communication unit 123 may obtain facial expressions and/or behaviors of the driver of the rear vehicle through a camera at the tail of the present vehicle, and thereby determine whether the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood by analyzing the obtained facial expressions and/or behaviors.
For example, it may be believed that the driver of the rear vehicle is in the road rage mood if it is found after analysis that the facial expressions of the driver of the rear vehicle show negative moods such as agitation and anger and the driver of the rear vehicle exhibits behaviors such as constantly looking out of the window to see situations ahead, patting the steering wheel, and opening and closing mouth (e.g., swearing).
